Fujairah: The United Nations has expressed deep concern over the missile and drone attacks launched by Iran against the United Arab Emirates, which resulted in at least three injuries and caused a fire at an oil facility in the Fujairah oil industrial zone.
According to Bahrain News Agency, St©phane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the United Nations, issued a statement in which he voiced his concern over a number of strikes in the region targeting vessels in and around the Strait of Hormuz in recent days. He noted that this reflects the increasing risk of a resurgence of hostilities amid rising tensions surrounding the ceasefire, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.
Dujarric called on all parties to exercise maximum restraint and refrain from any actions that could escalate tensions or undermine ongoing diplomatic and mediation efforts.
He stressed that there is no practical alternative to the peaceful settlement of international disputes in full accordance with international law, including the Charter of the United Nations.
